3-Day Weekend Facts

Don D · August 2003

Half of all Americans live within 50 miles of where? (their birthplace.)

What do bulletproof vests, fire escapes, windshield wipers, dishwashers, and laser printers have in common? All were invented by women.

"I am" (or "I is" in Arkansas), is the shortest complete sentence in the English language.

Hershey's Kisses are called that because the machine that makes them looks like it's kissing the conveyor belt.

If you were to spell out all the numbers, how far would you have to go until you would find the letter "A"? (one thousand)

Multiply 111,111,111 by 111,111,111 and what do you get?
12,345,678,987,654,321

It is impossible to lick your elbow.

In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts. In old England, when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them to mind their own pints and quarts and settle down. That's where we get "Mind your P's and Q's"

For those of you hosting a party this weekend, "What is the one activity performed by 40% of all people at a party?" Snoop9ing in your medicine cabinet.

More maybe next week.

You know it is time for a few days off when you actually sit here and try to lick your elbow!!!

System · August 2003

That same list of facts, listed as the last fact; 75% of the people who read this will actually try to lick their elbow. Thanks for being honest.

amyhedlu · August 2003

Makes it worse that I am the only one to admit to trying it! x:-8

Hunter1 · August 2003

AGHHHHH!!! It's pulling me in. Can't help myself. No! I won't do it. Well, I'll leave work in a half hour and try it then.

Leslie · August 2003

One hour, 54 minutes to getting out of here. But who's counting?

Paul in Cannon Beach · August 2003

Don D,

What are you talking about? I am sure you could lick my elbow if you really tried.

Paul in CB

gillian2 · August 2003

True, he didn't say whose elbow - just a general "your" - he will be busy, I guess kissing everyones elbow.

lnelson · August 2003

Don D.
I have to say after the day I have had here. I am sitting here trying this little task of licking my eyebrow and laughing hysterically. Not sure if it is due to emotion exhaustion or because of the scene it must be to see me doing it.

Thanks for making me laugh.x:D

Have a great weekend!

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-29-03 AT 06:27PM (CST)[/font][p]Fact: The last hour of work prior to a three day weekend is more unproductive than not being there at all.

Second Fact: The last hour of work prior to a three-day seems like 10.

System · August 2003

No Inelson, NO! It's your elbow, not your eyebrow. If you can lick your eyebrow I am going to rent a bus and take you nationwide, charging 50cents a peek and we'll make millions. Plus, you'll get offers from Madonna to appear on stage with her.

By the way; for those of you who not only tried one elbow, but, strangely, then tried the other; it is a scientific fact that your right elbow is the same distance from your lips as your left elbow is, typically. I'm just waiting for Parabeagle or Ray to jump in and say something like 'it depends on how severely the arm is broken'.

ray a · August 2003

Don, What makes you think I'd post anything on a holiday weekend, let alone even log on? Just because you have nothing better to do today, doesn't mean the rest of us aren't enjoying life. Oh, and my left arm is just slightly shorter than the right arm - by a fraction of an inch. I severely broke my shoulder when 15.

Shadowfax · September 2003

Don, I'm trying to reconcile 'scientific fact' in the same sentence with 'typically' a if there may be an exception somewhere? Loved the facts, my math teacher wife will like the multiplication one!

lnelson · September 2003

Don D's Twin,
That just goes to show what kind of a day I had on Friday?x:-8

Thanks for pointing it out to me.x:P

rad · August 2003

Ok, speaking of elbows...the distance between your elbow and your wrist is the length of your foot. And the distance between your middle fingers, when your arms are sticking straight out to the side, is your height.

System · August 2003

I was reading rapidly, thought you were about to get x-rated.

ray a · August 2003

So Don, just what is your shoe size?x}>

System · September 2003

Ray a,

what are you eluding to here?

"Sam"

ray a · September 2003

I have no idea. I just got back from vacation and found out someone was using my login while I was away. x0:)

rad · September 2003

X-rated? Me? Never! x0:)
Sorry to disappoint you x}>

Whatever · September 2003

I have a friend who always keeps a picture of a cross-eyed president of the United States in her cabinet. When snoops leave the bathroom, they have this really strange expression because they want to ask about the picture but can't.

Leslie · September 2003

That's perfect! I'm going to have to do something like that. So, Whatever, how did you know it's there?

Margaret Morford · September 2003

Before company arrives, open your medicine cabinet just far enough to push 3 to 5 marbles in and then close it. You will know if anyone opens it because you will hear the marbles bouncing on the counter and sink. Even better the snooper will know you know they were snooping as will all the other guests!

Parabeagle · September 2003

I knew there was a good reason why I took last Friday off. You guys just got flat silly out here. Let me move a few feet away so I don't catch whatever it is you guys came down with. x;-)

Don D · September 2003

I like Margaret's suggestion. Or you can replace the pain pills with X-lax and make sure the steaks take an unusually long time to grill, hold everyone at the table through 2 extra coffees and don't let anyone leave until they've sat around for a couple of hours after dinner. And make sure the tissue roll only has about 7 sheets left. This should cause some movement among the guests, pun intended.
